Yard 'Types'

[Ladyinred]

I am the yard old woman. Literally. I have learned, through years of experience, to keep my head down, ignore what others and doing and ignore their comments on my horses. I always say a cheery hello (even if it kills me!) and will help if asked. Other wise I keep myself to myself and never get involved in yard politics. Took much pratice and years of getting self into trouble before I achieved this staus!!

Believe me, being on any kind of benefits is no fun
......
Yes I have horses (and parrots and dogs) and yes Im on benefits but EVERY spare penny I have pays for my animals as they are my sanity.

You sound very genuine, but going by your signature (unless im getting the wrong end of the stick..)

Slave to:
Queensway One Below Zero (Comanche) ID x Sports Horse
Hillmoor Kings Empire (Goliath) Clydesdale
Queensway Harlequin Prince (Jester) WB x ISH
Queensway Kiss Me Kassanova (Romeo) WB x Cob
Queesway Call Me Trouble (Scout) WB x Cob
Beau - Shetland
Plus 3 parrots, 2 Standard Poodlesand a Newfoundland

you have SIX horses...

How on earth do you have SIX horses, THREE parrots and THREE dogs purely on benefits...?

I wouldn't be able to afford even half of that many pets and I often work an insane amount of hours.

Just curious...

Highly entertaining. So I am the suited and booted before changing after work. I have kept my jeep purely for the dogs and horses so have a clean work car. I have been on the yard for years but don't assume I have top rights over anyone else. My arrival is always preceded by the dally barking as I have my 3 dogs with me who she adores and my 3 then legging it to a: announce my arrival b: give cuddles to their favourite people before we head down the fields for a doggy leg stretch. I also have a massive rug collection, acquired over many years and a huge amount of kit. People take the mickey out of said rug collection but then always come to me when they need a spare...! the transformation from complete stable slut to professional sales woman is quite a tough one.. and gets harder as I get older!!

Either our yard's unusual or I'm just not observant as I don't actually think anyone there falls into a "type"...

I don't recognise anyone here, anyway.

The Chatty One
Not quite an annoying teenager, but not quite adult yet. Plays music in the stable whilst mucking out. Unfortunately busting out these moves means most of the muck misses the wheel barrow in the process. Like to chat to everyone and have a good gossip about what's happened over the weekend. You will often find them howling with laughter at the most ridiculous things, (including horse drinking and making a funny noise, horse passing gas, horse rolling in stable, horse pulling faces, friend pulling faces etc.)

I definitely fall into this category..

Also, so many of these types of horsey people sound so familiar! Mind you many of the people I know fit into a couple of them
